Ginger-scented brown sugar sweet potato with melt-in-your-mouth warmth
A creative sweet potato that blends the gentle sweetness of ginger and brown sugar that is softly effective against the cold of winter. Like a fire in a fireplace, it is a soothing Japanese sweet that warms the body and soul.
Ingredients (for about 8 pieces)
| Material name | amount |
|---|---|
| Sweet potatoes (sweet ones such as Beniharu) | 2 sticks (about 400g) |
| brown cane sugar | 3 to 4 tablespoons (adjust to taste) |
| (cow’s) milk | 3-4 tablespoons |
| Ginger (grated) | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Butter (salted) | 20g |
| Egg yolk (for shining) | one (object) |
| Black sesame seeds (for garnish) | small quantity |
way of making
- [From the prep to the sweet-smelling prelude].Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into round slices about 1.5 cm thick. Immediately soak in water for 5 minutes to prevent discoloration, then drain well in a colander.
- Sweet potatoes, the moment of sweetness.Place sweet potatoes and enough water to cover them in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer slowly until tender and a bamboo skewer easily passes through. About 15 to 20 minutes is a rough guide. At this point, be careful not to burn the fish.
- Golden Paste, a sign of its birth.Drain the softened sweet potatoes in a colander and transfer to a bowl while still hot. Mash with a fork or masher until smooth. Mashing thoroughly here will result in a mouthwatering sweet potato.
- The magic of warmth, the secret of fragrance.Add brown sugar, milk, grated ginger, and butter to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula until the butter is melted and blended throughout. The fresh aroma of the ginger enhances the deep sweetness of the brown sugar. Taste and adjust the sweetness here.
- Shaping and creating beauty.Preheat oven to 180°C. Shape the dough mixture into the desired shape (such as a standard boat shape or a round shape) and place on a baking sheet lined with a cookie sheet. Grip the dough tightly in the palm of your hand as you shape it, which will make the surface smooth and the baked product beautiful.
- [A moving climax! Golden glow]Carefully brush the surface of the formed sweet potato with egg yolk. This step gives the baked sweet potato a beautiful golden luster. If desired, sprinkle black sesame seeds on top for a richer appearance and aroma.
- Now, to the oven! [Fragrant temptation]Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes until the surface is deliciously browned. The sweet and savory aroma wafting from the oven foretells a moment of sheer bliss. If they start to burn, cover them with aluminum foil.
- [Completed! Heart-warming reward time]After baking, remove from heat and serve warm! Of course, it tastes great cold, but we recommend savoring the freshly made hokuhokku with a cup of hot tea.
Here is the secret to the delicious taste! Recipe Tips
The secret to this recipe is the “aroma” of ginger and the “richness” of brown sugar! Using freshly grated ginger maximizes the fresh aroma and warmth. Also, when mashing the sweet potatoes, do it while they are still hot for a smoother texture, and the milk and butter will make them moist and chewy to the touch. The egg yolk applied at the end adds a jewel-like shine.
